I am a young professional living and working in Calgary, Alberta. I love exploring new places and trying new things. I love animals and have a dog named, "Birch." I live a healthy lifestyle that includes lots of hiking, biking, juicing and chasing my dog around.

For several years I worked as a camp director and spent my summers living in teepees in the Canadian Rockies. These days I work in real estate but I still love to get out to the mountains on my bike or hiking with Birch. I love learning about nature while climbing on it, swimming in it and/or tasting it's edible plants.

So far my experience with airbnb has been incredible and has allowed me to meet lots of interesting people while visiting some beautiful places. Two of my favorite things!

You can expect me to be friendly, fun and respectful. I look forward to meeting you, whether you are hosting me or should I have the opportunity to host you.

Location is great, easy walking a couple of blocks north to downtown. Roundabout are lots of nice restaurants and bars. There is a parking place. A major plus in this are if you are driving.
The apartment was large and spacious and had everything you would need, the kitchen had all the necessary stuff and there was plenty of storage space for cloths. Although given its size the bathroom is a little small and it just generally seemed a bit spartan. But that is probably being a little picky.
The entrance and hall is a little dated and it was a little noisy at the weekends in the evening, but nothing that stopped us thoroughly enjoying our stay.
Out host had it all well organized to get access and was very accommodating letting us stay several hours on our last day since i had a late flight out.
Great value.

First time using Airbnb so we were nervous but once had the keys and were in the apartment it was all smooth sailing. We had a great experience as first time uses of Airbnb
Pros: Great location right on 17th st with heaps of nice cafes and restaurants. Matt left some handy hints of where to eat etc. Good place to stay if you dont have a car like us! Really good wifi. Matt was really helpful and checked in with us to make sure our stay was going well and offered his help for advise or information. Comfortable bed and good heating.
Cons: The hallway smelt a bit but the apartment didnt and was clean with everything you can ask for. The walls between apartments were pretty thin and you could hear the neighbours talking and unpacking dishwasher etc. These didnt affect our experience in Calgary just small things we noticed.
Overall: We were super happy with the place and in a great location. Nice to have extra space compared to a hotel room. Host was helpful and responsive to messages. We would stay there again.

Matt's condo was great (way better than a boring conference hotel). Good location, all the amenities required and an awesome location. Matt was easy to communicate with, super nice, and did an excellent job cleaning. I'd choose to stay there again.

Host was fantastic - first time on Air BNB and he helped us through.
Apartment was fully equipped with everything that was needed.
Apartment was central to everything - only caught train once to Calgary Zoo and walked everywhere else.
Probably better suited to 2 rather than 4 people but still value for money for 2 people.

Matt was an exceptional host, he responded very quickly and had answers to all our questions.
The loft was exactly as pictured! It was very clean upon arrival and getting the keys went very smoothly. He had provided the place with everything you could possibly need, we especially appreciated the abundance of towels.
It definitely was a perfect central location with a bunch of choices nearby to eat and to even have a fun night out. I would definitely return here for any future visits!

Matt was a great host! He provided specific details about the property and the key retrieval was smooth and easy as well as access to the building.
The loft is unique and the furnishings are modern and stylish. Like previous reviews state, the toilet paper Matt provides is SO SOFT! The bed is also super comfortable.
There is outside noise but it didn't bother me one bit as it gets quiet in the evenings. The location is perfect for those people visiting on foot, without a vehicle. Everything you need is nearby.
Overall, my experience at Matt's was perfect and I will stay again!
Thank you Matt! :)

Overall great stay at Matt's Loft. Pictures are exactly as shown. Was concerned after reading a review about dog hair but the apartment was clean as can be. Very happy. Large, full wall windows face to the south and leak a bit of air, slightly chilly since it was -30C outside while we were there.
Comfy bed, great location. Overall very happy.

Reviews From Hosts

Matt is a very nice guy who was really easy going and fitted in with the vibe of my place straight away. We all got on really well with him and he would have been welcome to have stay much longer if he had the time.
